This group of men are some of the true settlers of Payson and theRim Country. Some versions of the photo have called the group "TheWild Bunch" -- they were hard-working men who did whatever theycould to make a living in the early years when Payson was getting atoe-hold as a cohesive community in the isolated wilds of theMogollon Rim and Tonto Basin. It is their grit and determination,and their sense of fun celebrated in the 2008 Payson HeritageFestival, Saturday, Sept. 13 at Green Valley Park.
